Immune Intervention of Infectious Disease

UMIID researcher activities include:

• Defining pathogen recognition receptors of virus/bacteria/fungi infection.
• Defining the innate immune response to virus, bacteria, and fungi infections.
• Defining and developing innate immune therapeutic targets for the treatment of virus, bacteria, and fungal infections.
• Building and testing novel vaccines against virus infection.
• Conducting high-throughput surveillance of immune response parameters against virus and microbial infection.
• Defining and developing T-cell targeted therapeutics for immune enhancement, immune control, and suppression of infectious diseases.
• Establish relevant models of immune response to virus and microbial infection. 

• Developing new immune adjuvants for antiviral and antimicrobial immunity.
